Five Free Copies of jsmag - for javascript developers (if you love jQuery)

Well, it looks like I get five free copies of jsmag for the article I wrote. I'll send an email with a one time use coupon code to the first five people to comment below with an answer to "I love jQuery because . . ." :-)

And if you're not one of the first five, it's only $5 to get your own copy. If you do any javascript development you should at least check out an issue . . .

I love jQuery for it's selectors that let you select ANYTHING on the page with ease and for the chainability of commands.

I love jQuery so much I have dreams where I lay down with in on a bear skin rug, in front of a roaring fireplace, with a glass of wine... oh maybe I should just stop now.

I love JQuery because of the code styles that is similar to Lambda Expressions.

@JimPriest: Heh, yeah, he DID bug the heck out of me. ;)

Please tell me your article is on version 1.7. The book on UI is great but the coding style could use a couple of upgrades for sure. (Not wrong per se, but different approach that was sorta like a hack.) He also got caught in the upgrade conflict in the book. At the time his book came out on 1.6 the core jQuery 1.3 was released and they didn't work together. A patch was in the works but that made it hard for someone here to use the book to learn between version conflicts and coding style.
Now I use jQuery UI and think it is great. Please no one take that wrong... if you do the book follow the book exactly and you will get it. If you are learning outside the book learn 1.7 with 1.3 core.

Too late for the giveaway, I'm sure, but . . .

I love jQuery because you can drop it into any existing application, allowing it to quickly go to 11.

Hi All,

Thanks for the comments! The lucky first five were Brian, Rob, Ben, Simon and Jim. Hopefully Rey can use some of the comments for his jQuery marketing :-)

@John, Yep - 1.7. I downloaded the latest version and wrote the article in the last two weeks. One benefit of mags over books - it's quicker to go from idea to production so version changes are less likely to be a problem.

damn... should be subscribed to your blog directly instead of through cfbloggers...
i know the freebies are finished not, but if you have a discount coupon code for a 12 issue subscription... i am sure you know or can retrieve my email.

PS: cfbloggers is GREAT, Ray, hope you take no offense...

@Azadi, Sorry man - I just write for the magazine. If I *do* come across a subscription discount I'll certainly post it here!

Oh, and stuff like this I usually twitter, so you could also follow PeterBell there :-)
